I felt in a funk a couple years ago and couldn't seem to pull myself out of it. I sought after different methods to try and get back to normal, but I couldn't do it. It developed into a really difficult depression for me. <br /><br />So I'm saying all that to offer you this advice: be diligent about your mental health and your feelings. Like I said before usually these things will pass with time and effort. However there are other instances where it will not simply fade away, so be aware of warning signs of depression and do your best to address them early on (if the funk doesn't go away) because you could save yourself a lot of heartache by doing so!

Been through my fair share of "funks." When you're in the middle of one, it's hard to step back and see the big picture or remember how blessed you are or how many people love and support you. You're going through something that you have a hard time understanding yourself, so how can you explain what's going on with your husband? He just wants to help and be supportive, but sometimes you can't find the words for what's going on. Sounds like we both have patient husbands who help us through that, even when we don't know how to express what it is exactly that's "wrong". I think it's so easy to get caught up in the busyness (spelling? haha) of life that we let who we are fall by the way side. We forget to "feed our souls" and lose touch with who we are and what truly makes us happy. We get caught up in what social media or the world tells us should make us happy. Or maybe it has nothing to do with that and has to do with these major life changes you're experiencing (sometimes I'm like, will the change ever quit it! lol) leaving you feeling unsteady and unbalanced. You find yourself at the end of the day wondering what you really accomplished that was worth while or what are you even really doing with your life? I guess I just hope you know you're not the only one. And maybe I'm just projecting myself and what i've been through in this comment haha, but I hope you feel peace knowing that we're all a part of this sisterhood, this womanhood. As women, we are sensitive and fragile and strong and courageous. I think it's one of the most beautiful things about us but can also be what brings us heartache and self doubt. It's a balancing act...the whole finding out what works for you and your heart and mind. Who you are as a wife, friend, sister, aunt, co-worker, blogger, and the list goes on. I hope you know how beautiful inside and out I can tell that you are. Your blog is such a perfect balance of bright, happy, uplifting things, and I love following such an equally bright, happy, and uplifting lady. Sending prayers your way for navigating this funk! Your life as Alycia Crowley extends to so many people across the world, but I know the most important extension of who you are and the love you have to offer reaches those in your immediate circle. The people in your everyday life. They love you the most and want whats best for you. Rely on them! Lots of love and sorry for the novel of a comment. Hope you know I genuinely mean everything I said.

I honestly feel like (for me) it all comes down to health. I'm not eating right, sleeping enough, or exercising. It really makes my mental state take a huge hit when I don't care for my body and I know it, but I've just been too lazy to change. I'm so much happier when I take good care of myself. The other things that bother me don't feel so heavy.

What I did was make a list of things that I needed or wanted to make me happy. They were little things that had been missing over the last couple months, little like "spend Sun seriously relaxing". Life has just been non stop and stressful. So, I'm making changes and even having to say no to some things so that I can just spend a little time on me. It was much needed and it's helping :) Sometimes, we just need to refresh a little bit and that's ok! Thinking of you, you got this.
